How to attach universal tyre chains!
1
Lay the chain on the ground. Make sure there are no twists or knots in the chain.
!
Note: Chains have to be re-tensioned after driving about 100–200 metres.
(NOTE: THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHAIN)
2
Lift the chain onto the wheel with the tigh- tening cams on the out- side and in a “slack” position.
Push the end of the chain in under the back of the wheel and reverse the vehicle by about 1/4 turn of the wheel.
3
First, hook up the side chains on the inner side of the wheel.
4
Then tighten the chain around the wheel manu- ally by pulling the outer side chains together. Then hook the outer side chains together.
Tighten with the tightening camp by inserting a tightening lever into the groove of the cam and twisting it 90 degrees so that the chain loop slips into the locked position (6).

If you need to tighten two cams, these must be placed diagonally across from each another.
Positioning may vary in vehicles with ABS and EBS. Chains must be fitted on wheels with ABS sensors. (See the instruction manual.)
